30 3. Whether or not notice of conditions or restrictions as to use applied to a patented article, snch as present in this case, is snfficient to pnt a purchaser of the article upon inquiry and to charge him with notice of the facts which 'Such inquiry would have developed, and render him guilty of infringement for a use without compliance with such conditions. Since the case of Straus et al. vs. Victor Talking Machine Company (No. 374), now before this Court on certiorari, calls for an interpretation by this Court, for the first time, of the Clayton Act, and its bearing upon the rights of patents owners, and also calls for a pronouncement as to the effect of the decision in Bauer vs. O'Donnell, 229 U. S., 1, upon the decision in the earlier case of Henry vs. Dick, 224 U. S., 1, it is conceived that the Court may not be unwilling to also take and review this case, which presents much the same questions upon only a slightly different state of facts. An authoritative determination by this Court of these very much discussed questions will render patent owners more certain and secure in their rights than at present.
